Julian--I'm crazy about most everything you do but the apples are always just remarkable. This one, like the others, is overflowing with simplicity and elegance, color and shadow. My Dad always implored us to fill the page and you have done that in such a subtle and masterful way. Don't change a thing. Nice to have you back Alain.

To say that "you done good" is utterly an understatement! Amazing is more like it. PS - I was at dinner party recently and I was telling my tablemates all about you and your website. A gentleman across from me (an art collector) has one of your paintings (pears). When I asked how he heard about you, he read about you in the NY Times a few years ago. Small world!
